Who was Alice Natalie?
Someone who had once had a chance of becoming Ron's girlfriend.
It had been during Harry and Ron's third year. Ron had shown astonishing talent and athletic ability on the Quidditch Pitch for the first time, and after the match, an older girl had taken the initiative to invite him to Hogsmeade.
It had been the first time a girl had asked Ron out.
Just when he, and even Harry and countless Gryffindor students, had thought romance was about to come Ron's way, Ron had done something stupid.
While on his date with the older girl, he had actually kept his eyes glued to Madam Rosmerta, infuriating the girl so much that she had left.
Harry remembered Ron falling apart that time. To help him get over his failed romance, Harry had told him that everyone around him actually knew he had been sneaking looks at Madam Rosmerta.
Ron had fallen apart all over again, but it really had cured his post-breakup blues.
Harry gave himself thirty-two likes.
In the days that followed, although they still occasionally saw each other in the Castle, Ron and Neville had had no further dealings with the older girl, Natalie.
They had not even considered each other as potential partners for the Christmas ball in their fourth year.
In fact, not long after her disastrous date with Ron, Natalie had accepted another boy's advances. However, that boy had been two years above her and had graduated the previous year.
Apparently, they had broken up when the boy graduated. Natalie had dumped him.
Harry had heard about it, but had not paid it much attention.
Almost every year, students dating someone in a different year broke up because one of them graduated. Usually, the one still at school dumped the graduate,
